Last night, I was sitting around thinking 'The Real World show on MTV really sucks, I wonder if anyone on the web feels the same way?' About 30 seconds later I found these guys, and they're serious about it. God I love the internet.posted by mathowie at 4:38 PM PST - 0 comments - Post a Comment

A great story on IBM.com's redesign. I have rarely used IBM's former site because it was so hard to find things. I just revisited, and I could find several products I own in only three links off the index page. It's a lot better now.posted by mathowie at 2:12 PM PST - 4 comments

In the 'Automakers that don't get it' file comes this. Saab USA is spamming people to tell them about their new cars. Great, thanks to Saab USA's inept marketing department, I'll never buy a Saab in my entire life.posted by mathowie at 3:59 PM PST - 2 comments

Auto baron Henry Ford was a great entrepreneur and a peacemaker during the World World I era. In fact, he loved just about everyone. Everyone, that is, except for the Jews. Read his book and find out how Anti-Semitism isn't just for white trash anymore.posted by tdecius at 8:53 AM PST - 0 comments - Post a Comment

And you thought it wasn't over. The original intern, Gennifer Flowers, has a Web site hocking merchandise and her particular point of view. She even bridges the gap between the scandals and sells an Official Gennifer Flowers El Presidente cigar!posted by tdecius at 8:50 AM PST - 0 comments - Post a Comment

If you thought Microsoft's Amazon.com Purchase Circle was amusing, check out the ecletic cocktail of the members of the United States Senate, with their Federalist papers, sugar diets, and Geisha memories. And, of course, there's their George Stephanopoulos fetish.posted by tdecius at 10:30 AM PST - 1 comment

Ever since I finished college and turned 25, I was no longer cool. I just can't keep up with new music anymore. But thanks to places like http://reify.org/, I'll still know what's cool in the indie music scene.posted by mathowie at 8:50 PM PST - 1 comment

This of course begs the question, what is so comforting about green toffee? I don't know about you, but I prefer my toffee brown. And why would you make a hair removal product resemble anything remotely edible? It removes hair for chrissakes!posted by mathowie at 10:40 PM PST - 0 comments - Post a Comment

I just saw The Sixth Sense last night, and I really enjoyed it. So, for shits and giggles, I checked the christian movie review site to see what they thought of it. My favorite quote? 'This movie was titillating to the intellect not just abusive to the senses: a most difficult combination to deal with when explaining to children (teens included) that the movie is fantasy.'posted by mathowie at 1:24 AM PST - 0 comments - Post a Comment

Nobody likes an election campaign that features negative advertising on TV, so I wonder what the 'Friends of Giuliani' were thinking when they set up Hilaryno.composted by mathowie at 9:38 AM PST - 0 comments - Post a Comment

From the You Learn Something New Everyday file: I had no idea there was such a huge move industry in Bombay, India, known worldwide as Bollywood. I need to get out more, I'm becoming quite the ugly american lately...posted by mathowie at 10:58 PM PST - 0 comments - Post a Comment

I've always wondered why no one has made a search engine that indexes URL's and nothing more. Network Solutions has just released their dot com search engine, but unfortunately a few test searches came up with some pretty dismal results.posted by mathowie at 10:51 PM PST - 0 comments - Post a Comment

Oh god. Banning backpacks won't solve anything. The school is sending the message that they assume the worst of their students. Next thing they will outlaw will be clothes because weapons can be hidden in them, then a daily body cavitiy search before class, just as a precaution.posted by mathowie at 1:48 PM PST - 0 comments - Post a Comment

Jeez. After 4 and a half years of sitting in a jail cell, Kevin Mitnick was finally sentenced today. The funny thing is, his sentence is shorter than the time he's already done. The story sounds like an injustice you'd read about at the amensty international site, but no folks, it happened in the Land of the 'Free'.posted by mathowie at 9:05 PM PST - 0 comments - Post a Comment

Wow, this is a great flash site that I've never heard of until I read about it in a book. I can't remember the last time I found a new site in a book. It's funny, with the instantaneous nature of the web and the prevalence of weblogs, it's not often that you see something new from something that was probably written and printed six months ago. Actually, the book has a lot of great finds in it, and it's great to look at.posted by mathowie at 12:04 PM PST - 0 comments - Post a Comment
